Chapter 3

Sylvia felt a terrible throb in her heart. She looked at Odell, the man that she had adored for more than a decade, who now looked back at her with complete indifference and disdain.

Not only did he not believe Sylvia’s explanation, but he even wanted to have her slapped sixty times for Tara’s sake.

Sixty slaps would ruin her face entirely.

Sylvia cried out, “Odell, why don’t you break my legs or something? Anything but my face!”

She pleaded on the verge of tears.

Odell only pursed his lips.

This time, it was Tara who tugged his arm. “Forget it, Odell. She only hit me six times. You’re going to ruin her face if you have her slapped sixty times. Besides, my face hurts and we’d better get to a hospital.” Perhaps it would have been better if she had not said anything at all. Odell promptly commanded the bodyguards, “Do it now!”

The two bodyguards would not dare disobey Odell and immediately held Sylvia down. Sylvia did not have the strength to resist and was forced onto her knees. What followed swiftly after was the loud, distinct smack of a palm against her cheeks.
